Signed distance functions (SDF) to explicit or implicit surface representations are intensively used in various computer graphics and visualization algorithms. Among others, they ...
We discuss the problem of fitting an implicit shape model to a set of points sampled from a co-dimension one manifold of arbitrary topology. The method solves a non-convex optimis...

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a powerful tool for classification. We generalize SVM to work with data objects that are naturally understood to be lying on curved manifolds, ...

Matching and registration of shapes is a key issue in Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Medical Image Analysis. This paper presents a shape representation framework based ...
We present a heuristic algorithm to compute approximate geodesic distances on a triangular manifold S containing n vertices with partially missing data. The proposed method comput...
